Sour Stitch

The great weaver

The master

Sews the strings and sinew as the Persians 

A tapestry, unique

Pieces, parts, and patterns

Deep in ecstatic reverence

To shining features,

And what's more

the glowing being underneath, within.

The threads and bones,

Drawn upon the loom

In perfect practice of the

Sacred art

A heart, radiant

A strength, a courage

A wisdom and a stalwart sojourn

And at the last moment,

The great weaver sews a sour stitch.

Just a touch, a bit,

Not to dance upon the grave of beauty,

But to grace perfection

With a stroke of humanity.

So the evils be not tempted 

Into addressing

What is so treasured.
